Forte Living Festival - this Friday & Saturday!

Late one evening, an email landed in our inbox from the creators of Forté, the world's tallest timber apartment building, with a request to partner with them. We were cautiously optimistic...Upon further investigation, Forté turned out to have some pretty great eco-credentials: Super strong, cross-laminated timber construction; rainwater capture use to flush the toilets; no carpark but a bike store instead; a veggie garden on each balcony; solar shading; the use of non-toxic materials (carpets, paint); the list goes on!
The lovely folk at Forté offered us an empty apartment to fit out. However we liked. I'm sure you can imagine our reaction: um, yes please!

hello!

Ink & Spindle is a boutique textile studio located in Kensington, Melbourne. Run by Lara Cameron and Caitlin Klooger, we screen print all our textiles by hand on a 10m table in an ethical and sustainable manner.

We are inspired by all things natural and our city of Melbourne. We love being a part of the local design community and collaborating with other creative & lovely people.

Come watch a printing demonstration, have a cup of tea, a chat and browse our textiles!
